Article ESPN Trying to Change 2016 CFP Schedule

Post by Floyd Robertson 2015-01-26, 16:06

ESPN, NFL lobby for changes in College Football Playoff calendar

Next season’s semifinals at the Capital One Orange Bowl and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl are scheduled for Dec. 31 but ESPN is pushing the CFP to move those games to Jan. 2, 2016, a Saturday with relatively little competition on TV. The NFL’s regular season concludes that Sunday, Jan. 3, and the league hasn’t had a Saturday game during the final week of its regular season since 2007.

Sources say that senior network executives as high up as ESPN President John Skipper are pushing for the change as a way to get better television ratings, but the CFP is unwilling to make such a move because it is committed to the original plan to hold tripleheader bowl games, including the semifinals, on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

E$PN is trying to make money talk.

The NFL is also adding an extra playoff game and they want to play it on Monday, so they want the CFP to move the championship game off of Monday as well. I hope the CFP sticks it to everyone and plays by their own set of rules.

I hope the CFP sticks it to everyone but eventually moves the Championship game to Saturday night instead of Monday night.

I love the fact that when the CFP wanted the Rose Bowl to move from the late afternoon January 1 slot and the Rose committee told them to fuck off. I think it is great that the "playoff" bowls next year are (currently) on the 31st. Remember when everyone was saying we didn't want the Orange Bowl because who would watch it? Well next year that could be the "playoff" bowls slot. Are people going to be complaining when the Spartans play on NYE?
